I left L.W when they federated with Threads and tried lemm.ee, but dealing with the tankies is so annoying I had to find another new home and settled for feddit.de.

Can't you use lemm.ee and block tankie instances?

feddit.de is still federated with lemmy.ml which is a tankie instance.

Yeah lemmy.ml has gotten worse with tankies, but it's no where near as bad as the others. And I still want to see some lemmy.ml communities (tech, gaming).

But unless it's changed with some of the recent updates, blocking instances as a user (on lemmy) only blocks posts from the instance but still allows interaction with their users in comments of posts. It's different for kbin and mastodon.

I don't want the annoyance of arguing with tankies from their main instances. I'd rather be defederated.

Also, why go back to lemm.ee and do that when I don't need to on feddit.de? That seems kind of silly in the first place.

Yeah, world news is the one to block on lemmy.ml

Edit: Actually fuck it, just block the whole cesspool. Plenty of alternatives to post to.
